INPUT (IP), cont'd.
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Examples This example shows input to one numeric variable and one string variable:
10 INPUT "ADDRESS";A%,B$
20 PRINT A%;" ";B$
30 IF A% > 0 THEN GOTO 50
40 GOTO 10
50
RUN
END
yields:
ADDRESS?
When the prompt “ADDRESS?” appears on the screen, you can type the
input data on the terminal's keyboard, e.g.
999, HILL STREET
Note the separating comma.
If the input text data contains a comma, which shall be printed, you must
enclose the input data with double quotation marks ("...."), e.g.:
999, "HILL STREET, HILLSBOROUGH"
Numeric input data must not include any decimal points.
This example shows how the date can be set directly from the keyboard of the
host:
INPUT "Enter date: ",DATE$
yields:
Enter date:
When the prompt “Enter date:” appears on the screen of the host, you can
type the date as a six-digit combination of year, month and day (see DATE$
variable). Time can also be set using the same method.
